Lillis and Lowry caught Kildare on the break before linking up brilliantly for a score just before the first water break. Laois led by two.With 23 minutes played and completely against the run of play Kildare had the ball in the back of the net through Daniel Flynn.
Laois began the second half exactly as they did the first. Superior intensity in their play and a real urgency once they carried the ball into the Kildare half. The Laois half-back line worked tirelessly all evening winning a huge amount of breaking ball towards the middle of the field.
